Hephaestus Letter of Thanks To Aphrodite

My DEAREST ************************** My Dearest Aphrodite... I write of our honey moon... your skin... soft... smooth as silk... thoughts... blossomed... perfumed... a rose in the hope of pollination... my yearning heart beats... harkens to your lilting voice... I Hephaestus swooned at your whispers... dusk arrived... I am calmed by your smile... it takes us into the twilight hours... held between my cupped hands... in hope that you might allow me... to dry your tears of happiness... my hands free your bejeweled face... I lay you down... we embrace... kiss in the silence... I listen... your sighing... my heart throbs... waiting... for your words... allowing two to become one... we searched for the rapturous hues of love... my wife... the Goddess of love... me... Hephaestus the God of fire twas us both that lit the sky that morn... My thanks my dearest... Hephaestus... your ever loving master... *************************************** Love letter II - Poetry Contest, sponsored by Viv Wigley 3/24/18

Haha, I don't think it was the first, but it was a forced marriage ordered by, (I think Zeus), to prevent the other male Gods fighting over who should have her, (something along those lines)... Mick
